Happy April everyone!
N is for NURSING #MNMuseumAlphabet
Today we are featuring a traveling nurse’s medical bag. This belonged to Mina Schauer. Mina grew up in North Dakota and went to nurses training school in Duluth. She married Harvey in 1935 and the couple’s son, Monty, was born in 1941.
While living in Baudette, Mina became the County Nurse. During her career as County Nurse, she was able to get the county eligible for use of the state’s mobile x-ray machine and she set up immunization clinics in the schools to best reach all children.
This is her traveling bag. Inside were basic medical tools, her uniform apron, and a notepad.
